Dr Elisabetta Adami

Associate Professor in Multimodal Communication at the School of Languages, Cultures and Societies

Dr Adami's research specialises in social semiotic multimodal analysis. She is currently working on developing theories and methods for the analysis of inter-cross and trans-cultural communication, with a focus on issues of mediation and translation.

Recent publications include journal articles, edited special issues and volumes on sign-making practices in place (on urban visual landscapes and superdiversity), in digital environments (on webdesign and interactivity, YouTube, mobile devices, and issues of digital literacy) and in face-to-face interaction (in intercultural contexts and in deaf-hearing interactions).

She is the editor of Visual Communication, coordinates PanMeMic, and leads Multimodality@Leeds.
